BIND 9.16.13 and Mac OS X 10.13.6 - problems with ./configure

[Larry Stone]

I’ve been building BIND on MacOS for years (currently on Catalina but has worked on almost the entire Mac OS X series.

I don’t know that site and I don’t know what most of the those options do. A simple ./configure has almost always worked for me.

Is libuv where the BIND configure is looking for it? My libuv files are in /usr/local/lib. I have libuv 1.35 (doubt the version is making a difference) and it looks like I installed it a year ago.

Are you using something like homebrew or macports? I don’t as I was already too established doing everything from scratch when I learned about them. But I believe at least one of them if not both use their own set of directories so something built with one of them will not be found by something coming from the other or done from scratch. Those instructions from krypted.com appear to be doing a “from scratch” version so if you installed libuv with homebrew or macports, I doubt the krypted.com instructions will find it.
